"After motoring with Mr. Ulsh i through the mountains of the By-1 kens Valley,, do you suppose I'd be afraid of a little thing like an air-) plane trip?" she asked, and never batted an eye as she pulled on the! aviator's helmet, and allowed her-! self to be strapped into the machine, i She spent more than twenty minutes! jin the air, circling high over the I j river and the mountains, and when j she got back one of her friends 1 asked: "Well, how did you like it?" ! "It's great sport," said the plucky] little woman. The other Millersburg passenger, was B. M. Shepp, president of the] First National Bank and a member: of the Johnson-Bailey Shoe Com-i pany.
